Cancer Would Be Quicker

cancer would be quicker,

with just a touch of

quiet lingering,

along the way;

taking away some of

the uncertainty, removing

all doubt, while helping to

keep the focus,

as you slowly fade away,

like a ship in the

midnight fog;

never to be seen again;

instead, we trudge along,

never quite sure when it

will all end,

packing our bags along

the way;

just in case;

as we take our shots,

firing wildly at anything

that moves,

very rarely making

them count.
